EDITOR'S NOTE This la the first
of a series of four articles by Hendrlk
O. Anderson, American architect and
scholar, long resident in Borne, In which
ho tells of the great plan for a capital

Thoso interested with Anderson In
promotion of the idea of a world city
expect to present the whole scheme,
with architectural drawings covering
the smallest details, before the peace
conference. ' ..:..
Anderson has devoted most of his life

of Nations would be formed In time e
givo him an opportunity to see his ideas
realized in brick and stone.
In tomorrow's article Andersen will
tell how an international city with its
various activities would affect agricul-ll

President Wilson 's lioble proposal to
governments and rulcts of all countries ijt
of forming a IiBgiie of Nations, has not
only mot with universal annrovat. but
it is becoming more and more evident
that the practical formation of such a
lotgue will, when established, protect
and expand tho essential interests of a-H
people' and nations, and becomo a (efl
nito means of abolishing war. -
In suggesting a practical pUn for the

Hendriek C; Anderees, chief

J.',' and east of tho town of
Lakewood, but a short distance
from Asbury Park and Ocean
Grove, is the site suggested. Of -
'this 'proposal Mr, Andoreen ;.
says:
"The neighborhood of Lake
wood, in New Jersey, on the At- .
Untie coast of the United -
; States, is already celebrated for .
its even temperature sad cli-
' matio advantages.
,'lOa the bordors of a vast
continent,' the population of
which is descended from every
people of the earth, an Interna
tional Centre, established to fa
cilitate understanding and to
promote universal - progress,
would have a peculiar appro
priateness. "Directly conneeted by rail
with all the eitics of the United
States and Canada, this situa
tion would likewise offor every
convenience s a port. Ia cen
tral position, within easy reach
of the grand high-road, the Pan
ama ' canal, open to the great
continents to east, west and
south, communication with all
pcrts of the globe would swift
ly be attained. Undeniably,
there are upon this coast many
desirable positions, and Lake
wood is but one of these within
easy reach of several of ,the
great established centers."
